    The combined middle fossa and retrolabyrinthine approach was used for the resection of a large petroclival meningioma with brainstem compression. This complex operation was divided into two stages: extradural bone removal in the first stage, followed by division of the tentorium and intradural resection of the tumor in the second stage. A virtual reality model was rendered following the first stage to ensure optimum bony exposure and to provide guidance for the subsequent tumor resection.
